The underlying problem with the battery going dead is Honda uses a minimum capacity battery in the CRV. Replace the OEM 420CCA battery with a group 24 battery of at least 800CCA. You will probably have to replace the battery box with a Odyssey unit to fit the larger battery (about $30). I've done this for a couple of friends that tow late model CRV's and cured their dead battery problems.
What a great idea, lryrob. The CRV battery is practically a motorcycle battery! Is the Odyssey box a direct replacement for the CRV box?
I had a charge line installed on our CRV, but the larger battery would likely have sufficed.
